Still Stuffed

Last night was another HOT one for sleeping!  Luckily, things are “cooling off” today, and we’re getting back down to the mid 80′s.   While getting ready for bed last night, a big thunderstorm came rolling through…how psyched was I?!?  I LOVE thunderstorms!  Jay and I actually ended up sitting in the living room for quite a while just watching through our big bay window in the living room.  I find them so fascinating, really. 

When I was in elementary school my house actually got struck by lightning.  We had some damage, nothing major, but it was quite the event!

During the middle of the night, I was woken up by ANOTHER storm that rolled through…that one I didn’t enjoy so much…don’t wake me from my sleep when I’ve got to get up early in the morning!!

By the time I woke up this morning, I was still feeling pretty stuffed & sluggish from last night’s feast.  I think I have a pasta hangover!   I knew I still needed to eat something this morning, so I went for something light and fruity…it was SMOOTHIE time!

Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie

-1 large frozen banana, sliced

-1/2 -3/4 c. frozen strawberries (I didn’t measure)

-1/2 cup light vanilla soy milk

-1/2 scoop strawberry whey protein powder

-splash H2o

This baby was SUUUUPER thick today – I almost couldn’t drink it through the straw.

I also made a batch of iced coffee this morning that turned out REALLY good, so I’m a happy camper!

I wonder if people will think I’m a coffee addict walking into work today with two mugs?

Later today, I’m going to try to answer a few more questions that have taken me a little more time to come up with answers for.  But feel free to keep ‘em comin!!
